More about this title

Why we love this

Over 80 songs means your students can build a genuine holiday repertoire in a single book, rather than cobbling together individual arrangements. The mix of traditional carols, contemporary classics, and film music keeps ukulele players engaged across generations and musical contexts, and TAB notation makes these pieces accessible even to students still building reading fluency.

What to expect

This book captures the warmth and accessibility that makes holiday music gatherings special. From the reverent stillness of "Silent Night" to the infectious energy of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," each arrangement invites participation and celebration, whether you're in a concert hall or someone's living room.

Who it's for

Ukulele students of any age who want to perform holiday music at concerts, classroom celebrations, or community events. The TAB format makes these pieces work for players still developing standard notation reading skills, while the song list offers enough variety to engage both beginners and intermediate players.

How to get the most out of it

  • Arrange your singers and players so they can lock in together during group performances. Having ukuleles positioned where vocalists can hear them clearly prevents the ensemble from drifting apart during familiar melodies.
  • Work through the TAB notation carefully before rehearsal. Mark any fingering shifts or position changes that feel awkward on your instrument so you can address them with students during group learning.
  • Build in time for students to practice the faster passages independently. Songs like "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" move quickly, and individual preparation keeps sectionals efficient.
  • Balance volume when accompanying singers. Ukuleles cut through easily in small spaces; in larger halls, you may need to position players strategically or encourage lighter touch to avoid overpowering vocals.

How to use it

Build a holiday concert around selections from this book, mixing traditional carols with film favorites to appeal to younger audience members. You can also pull individual pieces for classroom performances or ensemble combinations that pair ukuleles with singers, strings, or other instruments already in your program.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading TAB notation fluently across single and multiple strings
  • Transitioning between chord shapes efficiently in melodic passages
  • Playing melody and accompaniment patterns on a single instrument
  • Maintaining steady tempo during varied musical styles and tempos
  • Blending with other instruments and singers in ensemble contexts
